How old were you When you Started Driving a Car?

I started driving legally when I was 16, but before that I was driving around when I was 12. We had a house on property that was leased from the government so no normal rules applied.

I got mine when I was 17 too; I took the book classes in school, and then I took the private lessons. I think I passed the first time.... but when moving back to nj, and to nc, I had to retake the behind the wheel test, and they were so much harder! I think in nj it took me like 5 times to pass the written test.... I think kids should be @ 18 when they start driving- 16 is way way too young.

I was 50 years old when I finally learnt to drive and although it took 3 tries, I did pass my test on the 3rd go. I guess if I can do it, then anyone can

I was quite old when I start to take driving lessons. I took me about 3 month to take it and other 3 months to get the license in home. I also started to take the license for motorbikes but quit because I'm quite scared of driving such an dangerous transportation.

I got my License last year, My hubby told me I must get it with having 7 children =) The 1st time I went in I failed =( I came home and all the kiddies were jumping up and down asking if I got it, I had told them I failed but thats ok to try try try again until I do pass. The 2nd attempt I passes. I hope my kids will remember dont give up becuase we all can do it!

I got mine when I was 27 years old but until now, I still do not like driving.

I was 18 before I got my liscense. Funny thing was I had driver's ed in high school and we had to drive in the summer with our teacher. I had never been behind the wheel of a car and had no clue what I was doing. I did pass but my parents didn't want me driving. I think I was the only high school senior who had to ride the bus to school everyday. They finally let me get it when I turned 18. My birthday is in January so I got it before I graduated. I still couldn't drive to school. I wasn't allowed to drive until I got my own car. I didn't get that until I was 19. They said I liked to party to much and I was a smoker so that's why I couldn't drive. Right. My younger siblings all got cars at the age of 16 and got to drive all time. It really bites being the oldest. I do thank them though because I think I'm a better driver then my siblings. I'm in favor of all the states changing the age limit on driving. I think they should all wait until they are 18. My daughters say no way.

Wow! You're lucky you didn't have to take the class! I had to take the class, it was easy but I hated the instructor. :P She wasn't the nicest of people, I'll say that much. Anyway, I started driving with a permit and took the class at 17, but I didn't get my license until I was almost 19. I didn't really have any reason to drive until then. I took the bus or my mom gave me a ride to and from school every day. I only started driving when I started college. I did pass on my first try with a 90%! I was really excited. I only got marked down on my parallel parking (which I still have issues with!) and a couple other minor things.

I got my temps at 15.5. Passed on the first try. Got my license the day after I turned 16. I took drivers ed for about 3 months, and my parents made me drive everywhere, so I had lots of practice.

I think I was 19 or 20 when I got mine , but I was sriving before that.Just that, it was without a license and with someone sitting next to me.I first drove a car when I was just ten,lol.It was a family vacation and we were touring the city in a car.My dad and mom were sleeping on the back seat and I was with my friend, the driver,on the front seat.It was around 2 pm and realising that my parents were sleeping ,he asked me if I would like to take the steering.How could I let go off such a golden oppurtunity.So, I sat right next to him and was controlling the steering while he was in charge of the accelerator and brakes.When my dad learned about it during the morning ,he was shocked !lol

I actually started driving when I was 11. Long story! lol. Learned to drive a stick when I was 14.

i was got my drivers license when i was 17 years old,driving is a excited thing and i was pass on the first try, actually it is very easy and nice, i enjoy driving the car when i am bored i will drive and go somewhere,it is very nice

I was 19 yrs old. My parents were way to over protective. MY husband(boyfriend at the time) taught me . Now that I have childen they can learn at 14 were we live and I will start teaching them at that age so they wont be so apt to act crazy when there 16.

i was 18 when i got my drivers license.here in india u have to pass a test to get a license you.you have to be 18 or above to get a license.earlier there was no such a rule that you have to pass the test but now its imperative that you get through the test.in this test you to answer certain questions through an electronic pad.there are 10 questions asked and you must answer atleast 6 correct.i answered 9 correct. i am the youngest one so all my family got the license without any test unfortunately i had to give the test.

Hi there mzbubblie, I love your dog btw. I have a small Yorkie too and she is so beautiful just like yours! I started driving when I was sixteen. With a license anyway. I drove long before that as we had an old willies jeep that we got to take out and 4x4 in off road on our property. Yes I took the defensive driving course and I did pass my test on the first try. It was rather stressful to say the least. Nervous with the instructor in the passenger seat, sweating as I tried so hard not to screw up! I can understand you fathers nervousness. It can be treacherous driving in some areas. We always must be on the look out for other drivers who are not so good at it! That is exactly why I don't drive when there is a ton of snow out. Other drivers could be a costly problem. So that's my two cents. I was so glad to have gotten my license so to be able to actually drive! Yippie.

i took a class for driving and after tht i got my license when i was almost 18...and i got the license very easily...

Thank you for the best response hun

I started driving on my 17th birthday. Fortunately for me my dad had been a driving instructor in the army, so I didn't have to pay for lessons and I got to drive every day and passed my driving test by my 18th birthday. That was way back in the 60s and the roads were much quieter then here in the U.K. Not so much pleasure driving around today with so much traffic and it's getting expensive if you don't have a "green" car...

I started driving when i was just 14 this i'm talking abt 2 wheeler.I started driving car at 21 that too after classes for 15 days and then everything was on the practice.so here am i driving well.........

I had my driving license by strict exam. but i do not drive can recently. Aha, i am afraid that i forget how to drive in furture... Sometimes, i always buy my brother's car to drive outside. so excited... By the way, Pls come in my blog to show your elegance when you feel free.
